New York Zadroga Act-9/11 Terrorist Attack Lawyers

The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010 (the Zadroga Act) was signed into law on January 2, 201l. The law entitles individuals who were injured by exposure to hazardous toxins like glass fiber, asbestos, aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pulverized cement dust, lead, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and other hazardous substances to pursue a financial recovery.

If you or a loved one participated in the rescue efforts after the World Trade Center towers tragedy or were in the designated zone due to employment, residence or other reasons, you might be entitled to compensation for injuries that include chronic bronchitis, lung disease, COPD, sleep apnea, chronic cough syndrome, asthma, GERD, and sinusitis. Although the original Zadroga Act did not apply to cancer, the act will now cover fifty forms of cancer.

Our New York Zadroga Act attorneys seek compensation for recovery, clean up, and rescue workers, as well as those who lived and worked in New York, New York, near Indian Lake and Shanksville, Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon, Washington, D.C. in the months after the attacks who were injured because of exposure to toxic substances during the 9/11 catastrophe.

Car & Truck Accident Lawyers Serving Clients Throughout New York

When motorists climb behind the wheel while intoxicated or a tractor-trailer operator engages in the operation of an 80,000 pound fully loaded tractor-trailer while fatigued, the consequences can be permanent debilitating injuries. Our New York car accident lawyers recognize that the majority of collisions could be avoided if drivers exercised reasonable care by focusing on their driving, obeying basic traffic safety laws, and exercising courtesy to others traveling our roadways.

At Parker Waichman LLP, our lawyers utilize meticulous investigation, access to respected experts, skilled negotiations, current legal research, and aggressive advocacy to take on large national insurance companies in pursuit of the fullest recovery for our clients.

Our New York trucking accident attorneys recognize the unique aspect of trucking litigation which often makes these cases more complicated. Many trucking companies have rapid response investigation teams who can be dispatched to an accident site within minutes of a crash. These investigators gather evidence and begin developing a defense strategy in the immediate aftermath of a crash.

Pursuing a trucking accident case also involves other challenges that include:

Taking prompt action to prevent big-rig damage from being repaired because it can interfere with crash reconstruction analysis

Obtaining and reviewing fuel and lodging records, GPS data, tire purchase orders, and similar documents to expose misrepresentations in driver log books intended to monitor hours of service (HOS) and driver fatigue

New York Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

The changing demographics in the U.S. mean that a growing number of families will be faced with the difficult decision to place their loved one in a nursing home. Our New York nursing home neglect attorneys represent elderly victims of abuse and neglect in nursing homes. Approximately ten percent of seniors age 60 and older have been the victim of elder abuse according to the National Center on Elder Abuse, which amounts to five million incidents of elder abuse each year. Neglect of residents in nursing homes is just as prevalent.

Abuse and neglect in New York nursing homes often result from the facilities operating with insufficient staffing levels, so the facility has too few or inadequately trained staff to provide appropriate care for nursing home residents. Sometimes nursing homes and staffs avoid detection for prolonged periods of systematic abuse and neglect because elderly victims might be limited in their ability to understand or communicate about the mistreatment because of Alzheimer's or dementia.

Other Negligence Claims Our Attorneys Handle in New York

Our New York personal injury attorneys represent victims of general negligence in the full spectrum of incidents that can cause injury because of a lack of care or failure to pay attention. Some of the types of cases we handle include:
